Chapter 75 Death Knight: I came to Lundan only for three things
The Great Cemetery.
The cold moon is hazy, darkness covers the sky, and fog covers the earth. In this dark field, the tombstones are like heavy silhouettes, standing in the pale moonlight.
The cemetery is surrounded by tall woods. The wind blows, the fog howls, and the leaves rustle, breaking the deathly silence.
In the center of the cemetery, where the fog is thickest, where phosphorus fire flickers, a group of men in black stand with lanterns, adding a touch of horror to the dead silence.
The believers of death arrived as promised, waiting for the death knight to deliver the oracle.
This is a very stupid gathering. Once surrounded by the magicians of the Three Goddess Alliance, or this gathering is simply a trap, Lundan's leader of the death believers will be wiped out in one fell swoop.
But they still came, out of piety of faith and ignorance of faith.
Time gradually came to early morning, and in the woods around the cemetery, pairs of eyes opened, waiting for the arrival of the death knight.
There were many participants in this gathering, not just believers in death. Several churches paid close attention to it. Even the mysterious dark knight came to the cemetery at this moment.
The midnight bell rang, and the thick fog made it impossible to see anything. As the believers waited, the crisp sound of horse hooves sounded from the depths of the cemetery.
The evil dog parted the thick fog, and the undead servant wearing a beige coat and a black top hat held the reins. The death knight rode his horse and came in front of the believers.
"Goddess above, we come with the highest respect to listen to the knight's teachings."
The believers bowed one after another, praising the goddess and her knights. Some even wanted to kiss the death knight's boots, but were frightened away by the roar of the evil spirit dog.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the death knight wears old and ferocious armor, full of resentment and anger towards the living. His sword longs to drink blood. It takes away lives wherever it passes, leaving behind death and plague. It is desperate. incarnation.
In the eyes of death believers, everything is completely opposite. The knight is noble and mysterious, and his whole body is full of elegance.
The believers held their breath and came into close contact with the knight of death. They were all so excited that they clenched their fists. They felt that their life was worth it, and they would have no regrets even if they were immediately imprisoned in a lunatic asylum.
"I am a death knight. I come in the name of the goddess to spread the belief in death and tell the goddess's oracle. You are all the most devout people of the goddess. I am very happy that you can come."
Wayne glanced at everyone, and the skull head made a thick voice: "As for the others, although I have not extended an invitation to you, since you are here, I am willing to treat you as guests. Come out, there is no need to hide."
After the words fell, the believers became furious and clamored to pull out the heretics and bleed them.
The death knight came in person, and the believers hugged the thigh bones. They were fearless at this moment and felt that their whole bodies were full of strength.
Wayne snorted coldly, interrupting the chattering of the believers. His sharp white gaze swept across the distance, and he raised his hand to hold his sword: "I said, there is no need to hide. This will only shame your faith."
The sound of rustling footsteps sounded, and hundreds of figures walked out of the woods. They were clearly distinguishable and came from different forces. They were either close or distant from each other.
Seeing that the thieves' army was strong and had a clear numerical advantage, the death believers stopped talking and all retreated to stand behind the knight.
Wayne: "..."
After changing teams and standing aside, the believers' cowardice no longer made him laugh or cry, but he only felt very embarrassed.
The uninvited guests can be roughly divided into four forces, the Heavenly Father Church, the Free Mage Alliance, the Three Goddess Alliance, and the friendly unit Dark Church who came to help.
Among them, the Goddess Alliance can be divided into three forces, nature, sun, and moonlight.
Wayne saw two familiar faces in the Goddess Alliance camp, his teacher Xifei, and head coach Dick from the gym. Because there were many acquaintances here, he paid attention to the representatives of the Moonlight Church.
A well-dressed woman, about fifty years old, with a thin face that looks old, but in good spirits, and sharp eyebrows, giving people a very powerful feeling.
There are still hidden people in the woods who have not yet appeared, and Wayne no longer pays attention to them. He is here to reason today, not to fight or kill.
Wayne looked around and asked all the believers in death to stand in the front. It would be useless to huddle in the back.
You are shameless, but the goddess still wants it!
"I brought the oracle of the goddess, Lundan is filthy again..."
Wayne ignored the commotion on the sidelines and calmly narrated: "Some people live in poverty all their lives, some are born ugly, and some are born handsome and well-fed. The differences between people are so big that they are so big. The world is full of injustice, but..."
"Everyone will go to death and welcome death. No matter whether you resist or oppose it, you will eventually leave this world and enter eternal peaceful sleep."
"Death is fair and peaceful. Everyone is equal before death. No matter who you are, you will die one day. This is the fairness bestowed by the goddess to everyone."
The believers listened to the oracle and felt that they were right. The goddess understood it so well, and the knight also spoke to everyone's heart.
The guests didn't know why. The death knight said a lot of truths and what he wanted to say. If this was an oracle, it would be too empty.
You can't attract more followers to the Goddess of Death even if you keep saying this all your life. Come down here and we'll show you what it means to be professional.
"The goddess told me that Lundan is too filthy. Evil is rampant here and criminals gather together, making the already unfair world even more depraved. It is more like hell than the human world."
Wayne lowered his head and glanced at Abo: "A few days ago, I woke up my servant on the banks of the Tame River. He was an upright and fearless police officer in London. He was killed for exposing some injustices. …”
"After he regained consciousness, he continued to fight against evil and successfully destroyed it... Justice was promoted, evil was punished, and the unfair scales were slightly balanced."
"The goddess's oracle is fairness. As believers of the goddess, you must always implement this concept. Any injustice that bullies the weak and uses power for personal gain is blasphemous. You must not only restrain yourself, but also supervise others..."
"The goddess asks you to establish new strongholds in the five districts of Lundan and establish an organization open to ordinary people to help them get the justice they deserve. Justice may be late, but it must not be absent."
Wayne spoke slowly, causing the believers to open their mouths and the guests to be stunned, wondering if they had heard correctly.
For example, Gangplank, the director of the lunatic asylum who is hiding in the Dark Church camp, suspects that the Death Knight is crazy, and very crazy.
Wayne's sister teacher was the same. Xifei was shocked. It was the first time she heard of such a radical teaching. Although the starting point was good,... but what does this have to do with death?
With this free time and a lot of manpower and material resources wasted, it is better to think about developing believers, fairness and so on. There are only a few death believers in Lundan, and it is impossible to exhaust them to death...
Thinking of this, Xifei's heart skipped a beat, so that was it, she understood.
At first glance, the oracle conveyed by the death knight is completely nutritious, just a bunch of false nonsense. It is extremely difficult to implement, and there is no possibility of success due to resistance from all parties.
But when I think about it, this is not a clever way to attract believers.
People long for light and fairness. If the Death Knight is allowed to make some achievements, the reputation of the Goddess of Death in Lundan will undergo a 180-degree turn. Even if people don't believe it, they will not allow others to slander fairness and justice. death.
Success or failure is not important, what is important is that the followers of death did it!
Xifei was sweating coldly, and was shocked to realize the death knight's sinister intentions, and was in trouble for a while.
As expected of a long-famous death knight, his ability to play with people's hearts is truly amazing.
Xifei didn't believe that the death knight was real. The change of heart in the early stage must be for a large-scale sacrifice in the later stage. Taking a step back, this is a conspiracy, using good intentions to deceive public opinion to reach the peak of popularity, thereby expelling Lundan's other beliefs.
Gangplank: The death knight is crazy!
“Nonsense!”
A sharp shout interrupted Wayne, and a middle-aged man in white robes walked out of the Heavenly Father's Holy See camp. He was the Archbishop of Lundan Diocese and said unceremoniously: "I don't know if what the knight said is really the goddess of death. Oracle, I only know that there are laws in the world, and all churches have signed an agreement. We cannot use our own power to interfere in the world. This is true fairness. "
"As far as I know, the former Heavenly Father's Church was the greatest injustice in the world. You controlled all the upper-level powers. The fact that the Papal State is still standing is the best example. If you had not interfered, the Papal State would have implemented a constitutional monarchy long ago. Stopped." Wayne sneered.
The archbishop's eyes twitched. This is the truth, but the Papal State doesn't have its own difficulties. It's difficult for a big family and a big business.
Moreover, the Papal State has been very restrained, and the current Pope is indeed considering the separation of church and state. The tide of the times is coming, and even the Holy See must change.
When it came to an agreement, several church leaders present knew that the fight was too fierce and everyone couldn't bear it. They moved the struggle on the surface to the dark side. When the power accumulated to a certain level, or the friction escalated to the limit, they would start again. A massive battle of faith.
"I came to Lundam only for three things, fairness, fairness, and **** it's fair!"
Wayne mocked the archbishop and said to the believers: "You must do your best to maintain fairness. According to the requirements of the agreement, you must not use extraordinary power. If you encounter huge resistance and cannot achieve fairness, you can go to my servant. He can't do it." Come find me later."
After speaking, he looked around at the believers: "Do you still have any questions?"
have!
All the believers, you look at me, and I look at you, full of doubts. Finally, a man stood up, bowed and saluted, and said: "Sir Knight, it's not that we don't believe you, but... this is really The oracle of the goddess?”
"Why, do you think you understand death better than me?" "..." xN
That's not true, after all, you are really dead.
"Mortal wisdom cannot understand the goddess's oracle. I won't blame you, but don't always show your ignorance in front of me. Go ahead and follow the oracle. Time will prove everything." Wayne ordered.
His remarks were not just rhetoric. He could responsibly say that although the oracle was false, death was peaceful and fair.
The above sentiments stem from his understanding of death, quoting the Nelson family's warning motto that a wife is other people's good things, and a child is one's own fragrance.
Bah, I said it wrong, that's not the sentence.
There is no good or evil in gods. Every god has two sides. The key lies in how believers interpret it. Wayne read tranquility and fairness in death. He is a death knight. He said this is an oracle, and this is an oracle. .
If you are not convinced, go to the goddess of death and tell her what the death knight himself said.
"Let's go and serve the goddess well. When you die, your benefits will be indispensable." Wayne raised his hand and waved, and the evil dog roared into the thick fog, opening a long path leading directly to the cemetery for the believers to leave.
Although the believers had doubts, they still believed in Wayne. The death knight was the goddess's exclusive knight, and it was impossible to deceive anyone.
Now go back and make preparations. First go to the Free Mage Alliance to solicit sponsorship, and then open five detective agencies and law firms to provide legal aid to the citizens.
The believers left in a daze, never dreaming that their faith would develop to this day.
One of the believers walked back halfway and turned back, bowing and saying: "Dear Lord Knight, I received information a few days ago that the high priest of the Natural Church is arresting you. The information came from the top of the Natural Church and is very reliable. "
The believer's voice was so loud that Xifei's eyelids jumped. What idiot had spread the news? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to kill someone with a borrowed knife at such a low level?
It’s not Sidney, it can’t be Simon, it can only be those two idiots.
My God, this is so embarrassing!
"I understand, leave as soon as possible, and remember to avoid walking at night in the future."
Wayne waved his hand, and after all the believers left, he raised his hand and pressed the hilt of the sword: "Guests, do you have anything else to say? If not, I have something to say..."
"I, a death knight, have never been a combative person. I hate fighting and killing the most!"
"But in order to fulfill the goddess's oracle, I don't mind getting my hands stained with blood. This city is too filthy. You are noble and you are not willing to join in the filth. Please don't disturb the goddess's followers who seek justice and bring fairness to the citizens."
"..." xN
Is that fair? You are clearly trying to attract believers!
Everyone is in disbelief. Only children can tell what is right and what is wrong. Adults all know that order is more important. The death knight's forced demand for justice will only make the muddy waters of Lundan even more muddy. The citizens will still have to pay the bill. .
but……
What does this have to do with us!
The team of the Free Mage Alliance left first, and the unbelievers did not take the initiative to intervene in the fight. The team of the Heavenly Father Holy See left shortly after. Death is not the enemy of the Heavenly Father, and the death knight is not a descendant of the evil god.
The members of the Dark Church stood and watched. Death is the ally of darkness. They may not directly participate in the battle, but their attitude in supporting their allies must be firm.
The pressure came to the Three Goddess Alliance.
Coach Dick and the thin female magician focused their attention on the Dark Church. The Death Knight was too powerful, and the Dark Knight might also be hiding in the dark and could not make meaningless sacrifices.
Xifei was a little hesitant. She was once the leader of the Paris Scalpel Organization and had met the Death Knight more than once. Her intuition told her that there was a 90% chance that the Death Knight in front of her was a fake. He looked powerful but was actually unbearable. One blow.
Considering that there was still a 10% chance, she was unwilling to take the risk. She had just lost a high priest some time ago and could not afford to lose another one.
If you wait a little longer, reinforcements from the headquarters will arrive.
The teams of the Three Goddess Alliance evacuated in an orderly manner, and the members of the Dark Church bowed to Wayne and disappeared into the night.
It can be seen that everyone is very restrained.
Wayne is also restrained.
"Too mature..."
Wayne murmured, turned his horse's head and left.
Suddenly, he sensed a wave of movement, which caused Abin and Abo to hide in the thick fog and ride their horses alone towards the woods on the opposite side.
This forest was shrouded in pitch-black night, the hazy moonlight could not penetrate, and the all-pervasive fog stopped here.
The entire forest is like an abyss of nothingness, swallowing up everything that passes by.
Standing at the source of darkness was a tall figure, dressed in black armor, with a cape covering his whole body, and his face covered by a black iron mask, which was tightly fitted from top to bottom, not even his eyes were exposed.
Dark Knight.
Wayne's supernatural sense, which had not been activated for a long time, warned that the other party was very dangerous.
"Death Knight, Lundan is not your territory, you have crossed the line." The Dark Knight said.
"Who are you?"
Wayne tried to distinguish the other person's voice, but failed. It was deep, thick and a bit hoarse, as if he had throat cancer.
"You may not have seen me, but I am the knight chosen by the darkness, the dark knight appointed by the goddess."
"..."
What the hell are you calling yourself the Dark Knight in front of me, Wayne?
Wayne was a little confused. He was thinking about changing his name a few days ago, but he didn't expect that this vest already had an owner.
It was very frustrating. He wanted to discuss with his opponent whether they could swap houses and exchange each other's goddesses. From now on, he would become a dark knight and his opponent would switch to a death knight.
Wayne realized what was going on and didn't ask, thinking it would be impossible.
The Dark Knight looked at Wayne indifferently. The latter did not behave like an old man who had been famous for a long time, but more like a newcomer who was just starting out.
In addition, Paris also has a death knight. There is a 90% chance that the death knight in front of him is fake, but the strong aura of death cannot be faked. It can only be said that the two death knights are not the same.
The goddess of death has expanded the number of her knights and is preparing to form a formation?
The Dark Knight doesn't understand. He only knows that he can obtain the status of a knight and meet extremely harsh conditions. It is unlikely that a goddess will have two knights walking in the world.
The two knights didn't speak, just looked at each other quietly.
Maybe there was a connection between them, or maybe it was because of the atmosphere, Wayne held down the hilt of his sword, and the Dark Knight was also ready to fight.
The shadows of the trees were whirling, and a ray of light shone down, dividing the two knights' gazes at each other like a sharp sword.
Wayne turned his head and looked towards a big tree, and his heart suddenly tightened.
This familiar feeling!
Teacher, what are you doing here? The opposite is the Dark Knight, plus his ally the Death Knight. Go back and work overtime!
Hey, teacher, are you so strong that you can kill two knights alone?
At the same time, the Dark Knight also looked over.
"High Priest..."
As the Dark Knight murmured, the thoughts hidden in the woods quickly moved away, but the two knights remained still.
After a while.
"Leave it to me." x2
